File level restore via powershell??
Hi,
Does anyone know if you can restore certain files from a backup, via powershell?
I have run the backup job and restored the whole server via powershell, but can't seem to work out how you would just restore a certain file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
James

Do you possibly mean "Other OS" FLR cmdlet? If this is the case, then, unfortunately, it is not available at the moment.

Re: File level restore via powershell??
Hi,
How can I restore a file using the Start-VBRWindowsFileRestore cmdlet? When I look at the drives after I have the session in a variable this is what I see: C:\VeeamFLR\SERVER\Volume0, C:\VeeamFLR\SERVER\Volume1, C:\VeeamFLR\SERVER\Volume2. And I cannot access the mounted drive.

I think I'm getting there:
Dir $WFLR.MountSession.MountedDevices.DriveLetter[0]
Dir $WFLR.MountSession.MountedDevices.DriveLetter[0]

Re: File level restore via powershell??
Sorry for the Spam.. I will work out the rest later for myself but I have answered my question.
$WFLR = $null
$WFLR = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Backup-Job" | Get-VBRRestorePoint |
Sort CreationTime -Descending | Select -First 1 | Start-VBRWindowsFileRestore
$WFLR.MountSession.MountedDevices.mountpoint | % {
GCI -Path $_
}
Stop-VBRWindowsFileRestore $WFLR
The above will list the contents of the root directories of the VM's drives and the GCI command in the foreach loop can be modified to perform the finding and copying of the test files. And the files are located by default at C:\VeeamFLR\SERVERNAME\Volume(n) etc.. on the VBR server.
Thank you

Hi Andrian, we have some examples of using file level restore via PS in the adjacent thread; might be worth reviewing. Thanks.
